Ellagic Acid as a Potential Anti-Cancer Drug
Cancer development and progression occurs when the cells suffers when the molecular network linking proliferation and tumor suppression gets disengaged. But this link plays a vital role in cell regulation and homeostasis. Defects in apoptosis play important roles in tumor pathogenesis, allowing neoplastic, as well as genetically unstable cells, to survive. Moreover, deregulation of apoptosis af...
متن کاملHuman recombinant RNASET2: A potential anti-cancer drug
The roles of cell motility and angiogenetic processes in metastatic spread and tumor aggressiveness are well established and must be simultaneously targeted to maximize antitumor drug potency. This work evaluated the antitumorigenic capacities of human recombinant RNASET2 (hrRNASET2), a homologue of the Aspergillus niger T2RNase ACTIBIND, which has been shown to display both antitumorigenic and...
متن کاملArsenic sulfide as a potential anti-cancer drug
Arsenic sulfide (As4S4) is the main component of realgar, which is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Previous studies have shown the beneficial effects of As4S4 in the treatment of hematological malignant diseases, however, its effects on solid tumors have yet to be fully elucidated. The current study aimed to explore the anti‑cancer effect and the mechanism of As4S4 on solid tumors ...
متن کاملAdjudin disrupts spermatogenesis by targeting drug transporters
For non-hormonal male contraceptives that exert their effects in the testis locally instead of via the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis, such as adjudin that disrupts germ cell adhesion, a major hurdle in their development is to improve their bioavailability so that they can be efficiently delivered to the seminiferous epithelium by transporting across the blood-testis barrier (BTB). If t...
متن کاملCharacterization of cysteamine as a potential contraceptive anti-HIV agent.
Cysteamine (beta-mercaptoethylamine, or MEA) is a thiol-reducing agent and has anti-HIV activity. Because of these properties, cysteamine was evaluated as a vaginal contraceptive and tested for its effects on sperm function and on other sexually transmitted microbes. Cysteamine was contraceptive in the rabbit. Conception was inhibited completely when sperm were pretreated with 500 microg/ml cys...
